SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 714,738, datedDecember 2, 1902.

Application filed June 6, 1902. Serial No. 110,436. (No model.) i

i the system and combined the same with a syringe, which instrument Icall an extracting-syringe, of which the following is a specication.

The object ofmy invention is to relieve pain caused by bloating, colic,cramps, and Vderangements generally of the stomach, intestines, colon,and rectum by a direct application of the nozzle of the gas-extractor totherectum and pumpingthe gas from the body. It may also be used as avaginal syringe or for injecting purposes, which are fully illustratedby the drawings accompanying this specification.

Figure l is a sectional View cut through the center of the machine andits adjuncts throughout. Fig. 2 is a top View of a disk or screen forthe prevention of coarse materials from passing the pipes. Fig. 3 is atop view of a plug and stem of one of its ends and also of the one endof the inner plug H.

In Fig. l, a section of the whole machine, we have A A, showing theedges of a piece of tubing, preferably made of brass, although the samemay be composed of vulcanite or any suitable materials. The said sectionis brazed at right angles to another piece of tubing B B, forming across-section air pipe `andchambers having a cap-C at its end,`

threaded to tube B B. Within the tube B B is a plunger D, consisting ofa piece of turned brass or vulcanite and packed to fit the said tubewith cotton, wick, or thread, or any suitable materials to make itair-tight against the pipe and produce a suction Within the same. Thereis 'an opening E 'through the cap C to allow the air in the tube toescape and to freely fill the same in operating the piston-rod F. Withinthe tube A A are securely placed the partitions Gand H, having suitableopenings through their central portion to allow gas or excrement orfluid matter to pass. These partitions are driven into the tube A Aperfectly air-tight and form an inner recess or chamber No. 3. To theend of tube A A is fitted the nozzle or pipe I, suitably turned andsmoothed to4 enter the rectum. It is tightly packed to fit tube A A.Pipe I is composed of two parts. The part J is threaded into part I andcontains a disk or perforated sieve, as shown by top view, Fig. 2. PipeI is made with a suitable opening throughout its length. On the oppositeend of tube A A is placed a plug K, having a stem extending outward,intended to receive another IieXible tube L, which` iieXible tube orpipe is secured to another nozzle or dischargepipe M, having a suitableopening throughout. Said pipe M may be madeof rubber or vulcanite, thispipe and flexible tube to carry away the extracted materials. Thestopper K within the chamber of tube A A is formed With a recess, makingit something less than the diameter of said tube, this space to admit ofgas or other materials to surround it. There is also a disk valve `Nplaced within the tube formed by stopper and partition G on the end ofstopper K. The recessedportion is creased to allow gas or othermaterials to pass out around disk valve. The end of said recess-plug Kis more fully seen in Fig. 3, which is a view of the inner por tion,showing recess and the creases cut thereon. The partition-plug His alsoformed with a similar recess and creased down its full depth for thesame purpose. The second end chamber formed by the partition I-I and theend of pipe I contains a disk valve O, similar to disk valve N. Theplugs Gand H also form a middle chamber No. 3, from which the gas oruids are drawn into tube B B.

When it is desired to operate the gas-extractor, the nozzle-pipe Ishould be suitably greased with lard or other lubricating substance andcarefully inserted into the rectum, gently forcing it through thesphincter muscle, which will usually hold it firmly. To operate, holdthe pipe B B with one hand and draw upon the piston-rod F with theother. The

suction will close the valve N tightly over the opening and against thepartition G, closing the hol'e in G, while at the same time it will drawthe valve 0 away from the end of the extracting-pipe I and suck itagainst the inner end of the partition H, thereby allowing the gas topass around the recess in partition IOO H and through its opening intothe middle chamber No. 3, and thus completely filling pipe or chamber BB. Then by reversing the force by pushing down piston-rod F the gas orother materials will close the end of pipe'I by forcing valve O againstit and open the Valve N by forcing it against the plug K and allowingthe gas or fluid to pass around the recess and creases in'plug K and outinto the flexible tube L and through the other pipe M. In this way everystroke of the piston F will be drawing the gas out of the rectum. Thepipe M may be directed into a suitable vessel or into the water-closetand the gas or Huid materials allowed to escape, thus `by operating ashort time affording almost immediate relief. It peristaltic actionisproduced thereby in the bowels or rectum and it is thought necessaryto more thoroughly cleanse the system, the machine may immediately beconverted into a syringe, as follows: Place the nozzle or pipe I intowarm water or any fluid to be injected and the pipe M into the rectum,and operating the piston-rod F as before will force the fluid into thebowels to any extent desired, or if it is desired at any time to be usedas a vaginal cleanser or syringe the pipe I must be placed into theiiuid to be injected and the nozzle-pipe M inserted into the vaginalcavity and the piston-rod F used in the manner described. It may also beused for horses, cows, or other animals suffering from the effects ofbloating or any of the beforenamed causes and can be made of anysuitable dimensions for veterinary uses. Forming the valve-chamber A Aand the pipe I and flexible tubing and pipe M and uniting them to thetube B B at right angles gives the most appropriate and best facilityfor using the hands in operating the device. After using the machine itmay be thoroughly cleaned by placing the pipe I into clean or runningwater and using piston-rod F as before. The first part of pipe I shouldbe removed and the sieve washed and wiped dry.

Having thus fully described my invention and the uses to which itapplies, so that any person skilled in the art to which it belongs mayconstruct or use the same, what I claim as new and useful, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-

l. In a syringe the combination of the gasextracting pipe I constructedwith a detachable part, and made to hold a perforated disk the chamberA, A, containing the valve-disks N and O, partition-plugs Gr and Hforming inside chambers I, 2 and 3, end plug K flexible tubing L pipe M,all secured to tube B, B, plunger D piston-rod cap O all constructed andarranged as described and for the purposes specified.

2. In a syringe the valve-tube A A secured to the tube B B at anysuitable angle thereto, having the plug K partitions G and H diskvalvesN and O chambers within said tube l, 2 and 3 plunger D in tube B Bpiston-rod F all combined and arranged and operating as and for thepurposes specified.

3. In a syringe the extracting-pipelrcombined with the Valve-chamber A Avalves N and O, partitions G and H recesses, 1, 2 and 3 plug K flexibletube L pipe M, in combination with tube B, B, and piston F in the mannerand for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
